About The Book
What if you could take the week off from your entire life?
Hard-working barista/photographer Kenna has always been told she looks just like former child star turned film-fatale, Lorelei Dupont. If only she had it as easy as a celeb! Kenna would love to trade her apron and mop for a chaise lounge and cabana, complete with Lorelei’s sexy costar as her pool boy. Spending some one-on-one time with Titanium Man superhero actor Rafe Barzilay seems like a fantasy-almost too good to be true.
Lorelei is sick of wearing wigs in public and pretending to be someone she’s not. She came to this small town to get away from Hollywood, but with the paparazzi in pursuit, she can’t relax. All she wants is one week to go shopping in sweatpants, join a book club, get in on a DND session, and get to know Noah, the compelling English teacher who moonlights as a beastly Dungeon Master.
A modern fairytale retelling of The Prince and the Pauper
These doppelgängers might look alike, but they’ve got nothing else in common. Or do they? Is it possible that their resemblance might be more than skin deep?
The Review
The Princess and the Paparazzi
This is fun retelling of The Prince and the Pauper. Instead of a Prince, we have a weary famous actress, and in place of a pauper, as her doppelgänger we get a small town barista who is facing a wave of upheaval in her own life. Of course they decide to switch places so they can each have a vacation from their own lives. The story is told dual POV, from the perspectives of both female main characters. It was fun to see it unfold from both sides and to get two romances in one book.
